Chapter 191 Emperor Chu is Incredibly Cunning
By mid-June, the hot topics of the tea-horse market and the return of Commandery Princess Dongyang to the capital were soon overshadowed by another topic.
That was, the Princes were being bestowed with marriages, and they were to marry by the end of the year.
This sudden explosive news left everyone stunned, not because the Princes were getting married — that was expected — but because of the chosen brides for them, leaving many families mystified.
Is the Emperor planning something big?
As Song Ci enjoyed her afternoon tea, she clicked her tongue in admiration at this grand royal gossip.
"The Emperor’s Heart Technique, truly unfathomable. Look at how skillfully he plays, it’s simply amazing."
As for the Second Prince, Chu Hongkun, he’s practically nonexistent; his biological mother is gone, his adoptive mother, Consort Duan, has a low rank, and he himself isn’t particularly outstanding, with no exceptional qualities, so he has never been highly favored.
But at least he’s the second, and the Emperor arranged him to marry Li Qingqiu, the eldest daughter of the Lai Family, who is the Governor of Fengtian Prefecture.
